| Tho Review club held it's regular
weekly meeting on Tuesday evening.
Owing to the intense interest mani
tested generally in the election of the
school directors, and the announcement
of the lecture in Memorial hall by
Henry George the club adjourned to
meet the next Tuesday evening, when
the discussion of the question of En-
glish Taxation in America and the North
American Review for November-will
be tsken up. This club is one of the
strongest literary organizations in the
Southwest, its membership being COM
posed largely of the most studious and
best read of our principals and teachers.
The club deserves better mention than
it is possible for me at this writing to
make of its merits. So shall reserve
what else I have to say fer subsequent
letter.
The election of school directors re-
suited IN an overwhelming victory Of
the Citizens ticket, Anti German.
There is general rejoicing among the
victorious whose ranks were broken
only in one or two districts. Our Col
ored citizens seem to be peculiarly jubi-
liant since by their united support Of
the citizens ticket" they have reason
to believe that the new organization
will answer any reasonable petition for
better facilities for our Colored schools.
The Home club gives its annual ball
on the second Tuesday of next month.
The club is quite popular among the
elite of our st. Louis folks. And it's an
nual entertainments are anticipated with
great eagerness.
Mr.. David E. Gordon, one of our
popular principals, has taken up his
residence among the creme de la creme
of the South Side. It is understood
thatthe voice of the buzzing cableand its
cars, and the early morning collie Of young
Abbott Gordon rendered his eyes lit
tie heavy and sandy in the school
room and he concluded to HE him and
his young family to the sequestered
nook where young Abbott will have no
rivals in the cable fowl car''-no rival
but the steaming catnip tea pot.

friend, Hon. J. T. Settle, is winning
fame and fortune by his successful law
practice in Memphis, Tenn. Friend
Settle was born lawyer, so far as the
"gift Of CAB" is concerned, and he
developed into logician as the years
crept along, now he is recognized az
the leading Colored lawyer in Tonnes

/ taxing local ana an editorial which
appeared in Mondays Tribune, as our
premises, we conclude, that the Tribune
is mistaken in regard to the State Con-
vention of Colored men which is to be
held IN this city on next Monday. The
APPEAL was one of the prime movers in
bringing about the convention, and can
state emphatically, that politics in no
shape whatever is to be considered.
The sole object of the conyention is to
form state league for the purpose OF
protecting the Colored citizens of Min
nesota in their CIVIL R1GHTs and to
draft constitution and set of by laws
for the government of the same, and
for no other purpose whatever, either
directly or indirectly. Such certainly
has been the sentiments of each and
every individual we have heard express
himself in regard to the convention,
either in mass meeting, committee
meeting or elsewhere; and, if there is
any intention, on the part of anyone,
to endeavor to bring politics into the
convection, the APPEAL is unaware of it,
and honestly opposed to it. The Ap-
PEAL has no objections to political or
CARNATIONS and thinks they are all
right, when properly conducted, but
cannot and will not agree to have poll
tics mixed up with the forthcoming
convention. A great deal more ex-
element has been engendered in re-
gard to the convention than there was
any need for. A certain class of the
citizens oi Minnesota feel the need of
uniting and banding themselves to-
gether for the purpose Of rendering as
sistance one to the other in case any are
victims to prescription, outrage, insult
or Inconvenience on account of color,
by the damnable prejudice which exists
in the bosoms of other classes of citizens
Of this commonwealth, and that is all.
The guilty consciences of the leading
white politicians, who know how shame
lessly they have treated their Colored
in the division of the politi-
cal spoils causes them to fear every pub
lie demonstration or gathering Of Col
ored Gnen. If the convention was
called for the purpose Of denouncing
these men or for the purpose of organ
ing to demand fairer treatment at their
hands the ArPEAL would support the
with might and main. But
the forthcoming convention is not for
that purpose, later on politics and
politicians will receive attention at our
hands,

Call For State Convention.
st. Paul, Mimi, Nov. IS '87

FELLOW CITIZENS
Feeling a deep interest in the devel-
opement of the great state of Minnesota
appreciating the blessings of her just and
liberal laws and the kindly feeling of
her best citizens, and believing IN union
there is strength, we deem it wise and
prudent that we should take some action
to advance our industrial and civil
rights vouchsafed to us by the constitu-
ton Of the United States and the stat
utes Of this commonwealth. Recent de-
yelopements have demonstrated the
fact that there is disposition on the
part of some to abridge the rights guar
anteea by the CONSTITUTE on and the laws
ofthis state. Therefore, we the Color
sd citizens of st. Paul, in mass meeting
assembled, do hereby issue call for a
State convention to meet in the hall of
the House of Representatives in the CITY
Of st. Paul on Monday Dec 5tll., 1882 at
ten O'Clock A. N. for the purpose Of ad-
yanclng our interests in these matters,
and after due deliberation to form such
an organization as may be agreed upon
having for its object the protection OF
our rights hereinbefore stated. And
for the purpose of carrying out these
provisions it is hereby requested that
the Colored citizens in the several coun-
ties of the state meet and from their
number elect the number Of delegate
from each county as follows:

There are no axes to be ground at the

mony must prevail. We want civil
rights and we must show We know how

The election last Tuesday, so far as
this county is concerned, was remark
ably quiet. Division received little en-
ceuragement in the free and independent
baillwick of Emmons. Throughout the
county the vote was light. Even in this
(the Second) district. where. commits
sioner was balloted for. the vote was net
full one. It was believed by Nest of
the voters that Commissioner Yeater
would have "walk-away," and for that
reason enough interest to bring out full
vote was lacking. But his opponent,
Mr.. Shields, being we'll liked by every
one, received much larger vote than
most of the prophets" gave him. One
thing can be said it was clean contest
on the part of both candidates. OF course
the venerable anti Yeater chcstnuts were
trotted out, busted off, re-embellished.
and set to work but they had lost flavor
since the election of 's4, and did no dam
age. except with an occasional newcomer
who had heard but the one side. 1t is
unnecessary, however, to tell those who
know Mr.. Shields that he made no use of
such methods in his individual canvass.
Nor need the defeated candidate feel cha
grined at his failure to secure the coveted
honor, for no other man in the district
could have made better fight than he.
But majority believed that at the pres
ent time as much as ever the Second Dis
trict needs the influence and experience
of William L. Yeater in the county bdord,
and, furthermore, it will be time enough
to "swap horses" after the stream of
conflicting county interests shall have
been crossed. This partially accounts fol-
his majority being d third larger this
time than it was three years ago.
y The vote by precincts is as follows, so
far as received:
